Regex in Java

Oct 6th, 2005

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I'm having in Java regarding Regex. All I'm trying to do (this is being dumbed down a bit) is scan a file, for specific text, and print it out. I'm trying to use regular expressions, but for some reason it isn't working the way it should.

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

		String regex = "(\\d+)";
		Pattern regexpat = Pattern.compile(regex);
		
		
			while (oneWord.hasMoreTokens()) {

				
				Matcher numFind = regexpat.matcher((CharSequence) oneWord.toString());

				boolean matchFind = numFind.find();
				if (matchFind = true) {
					System.out.println(oneWord.nextToken());
				}
			}

For testing sake, I'm using a really simple regular expression, but when I run the program, it prints out every single word in the text file. Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong?
